Soldiers, Pilots, Freedom Fighters,
you are all here, here to fight the Nomads. You understand what threat they are to humanity, you unterstand the importance of the Order.
Today we are going to fight an important battle. We need to save a hostage, a hostage many of you will know: President Jacobi.
Nomad infiltrators abducted her and hold her captive, in a place safer than any other place - Prisonstation Mitchell in Alaska.
Yes, Mitchell, the prisonstation only the most violent and cruel criminals are sent to. And we are attacking it. We will enter Alaska, free President Jacobi and get out.
This mission is important for our war, important for the survival of humanity.
We need to get President Jacobi alive, we need to save Liberty from being controlled by the Nomads. We need to fly, and we need to WIN! Pilots, get to your ships.

Players,
its time to announce the first Story-Replay event, Mission 11: Assault on Alaska and Rescue of President Jacobi. This mission is the one i think is most interesting while being organizable without too much effort.

The Mission will have 2 teams and 3 phases. In each of the phases every team has a certain goal to achieve.
The first team will be the team of the Order, the second team a Nomad-infested LSF (Liberty Security Force).

The Plot of the Event:

The first phase of the attack is the attack on the sensor array satellite, which will be displayed by a cruiser.
The cruiser will be near Zone 21, and the Order ships will attack it, while the LSF will defend it. Ultimately the cruiser shall be destroyed.
I assume 5 minutes of time to destroy the cruiser after the beginning of the attack. (To make fights easier, i think both teams shall undock from the cruiser, the cruiser has no repair ship).

When the cruiser is destroyed phase 2 begins: the Order will fly to Alaska, the nomads follow them but dont really attack them. The order ships dock at prison station mitchell. The LSF docks at Yuneau Shipyard.
When this is done, Trent and Juni will stay docked, the other Order Ships will defend the prison station, trying to prohibit any LSF ships from docking there. The LSF shall be stronger in this phase than in the first, in story being supported from forces from the shipyard.
This phase was added by me to have a story outside the prisonstation during the cutscenes in the game. I think it fits quite well.
When another 5 minutes have passed, Juni and Trent will undock, being accompanied by an Armored Transport, carrying Jacobi.

Phase 3 starts now: The order will try to get out of Alaska, the fighters are docked at a cruiser playing Marcus Walker. The fighters will try to defend the Armored Transport at all cost. The jumpgate is blocked by an Osiris Battleship, armed with 8 FLAK Turrets (only 2 will fire at a time, I will be piloting the Battleship; maybe it will be damaged before, since its too strong else...). This Battleship therefore blocks the gate and has to be destroyed. The Order will attack the battleship, defend the armored Transport and ultimately the cruiser will destroy the battleship and then be destroyed itself (Marcus Walker sacrifices himself to give the others the chance to excape). Juni, Trent and the AT will then exit Alaska. When they are out, they will be pursued by the remaining Orders/LSF. But now its only about ending the event. Players who die will not respawn any more.

Now I have a surprise: The outcome of the phases will have an effect on the following phases.

First Phase:
If the cruiser is not destroyed during the first phase, Juni and Trent will need more time in the Prison station, because the Sensor Arrays spotted the attack and the guards in the prison station are warned. They now need to stay docked for 6 minutes instead of 5.
If the Cruiser is destroyed faster than needed, meaning there is at least 2 minutes left (the cruiser is destroyed in 3 minutes), the taskforce gets to mitchell earlier, surprising the escort of Jacobi and saving her earlier. They only need to stay docked for 4 Minutes.

Second Phase:
In this phase there are only benefits for the LSF: If at least 3 of them dock at Mitchell, the AT in the next phase may only respawn once. If at least 5 of them dock, it may not respawn at all.
If the Order prohibit any docks at Mitchell, the AT may respawn 2 times, meaning it has 3 lifes.
All fighters may respawn infinitely (both sides).

Third Phase:
This is about win or loss:
When Juni, Trent and President Jacobi escape, the Order has won. They sucessfully saved the President. They will then work to the ultimate defeat of the nomads.

When the AT looses all his lifes, the President is lost. The Order has failed to save her, though she is not transformed into a nomad infiltrator.
None side gained anything, but lost many good pilots.

When the AT looses all his lifes and after that all Order Pilots are destroyed, the LSF/Nomads won. The order was defeated, their strength decreased significantly.

So about the event:
We need two teams with special ships:

Team 1 (Order):
Ships:
1 Enforcer (Jun'ko Zane/Juni)
1 Anubis (Edison Trent)
1 Armored Transport (Phase 3, President Jacobi)
1 Cruiser (Phase 3, in phase 2 would be senseless and phase 1 not there yet in story)
+ Anubis Fighters.
----> Order Anubis Players will get their Ships from the Admins. Please Create Chars with this name for the Admins to find the ships: {Order}-Anubis~xx (xx is a number from 01 going upwards. Please take the first free one you find.)
The Ships need to be new chars, since the Charfiles will be overwritten when giving the Anubis. (-> Everything on the char before will be lost!!!).

Rules:
Order:
The Order Ships will not use more than one missile and no torpedos (too strong). They may use any weapons avaiable in the Houses Outlaw groups and weapons of the Order.
--> They will get the Ships from the Admins, with Weapons equipped.

LSF:
The LSF Enforcers will only mount 2 class 7 guns. They will only use weapons aviable in Liberty. They will not use more than one missile, and they will not use torpedos (too strong).
-> They will also get ships from the Admins. Just create your char with the name.

All players:
Too keep it fair: NO Shieldbuster Weapons, since i think they would be unavaiable to the Order, and it might make fights more interesting.
NO missiles stronger than class 5 (Catapult),
NO Swatter, Screamer, Cutter or Ripper mines.
And please dont spam mines, I want fair, story-like fights. No spamming, laming, insulting, ...

The Event will take place on Saturday in 2 Weeks. Should be the 13.04.2013.

~DATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Many Players already told me Sunday 14th was a bad date for them. When signing up please tell me a day you are quite sure you can play ~

--> Date Changed to Saturday 13th

You have to apply for a team here, i will then assign you.
You may give a wish which team to fight in, but i cannot guarantee you will get the team you wished. You can also give wish for one of the Characters (Juni, Trent, Jacobi (you may fly a normal Anubis in the other phases), Walker (same as Jacobi)), though i cannot guarantee anything there eighter.
You will need to create ships according to the rules, but i will ask the Admins to give Anubis ships to the Order Players (without cloaking device when possible).
I will fight in the Event too, though i will take the rather special positions...
In Phase 2 i will watch and prepare for phase 3, while watching the time.

Note: The Teams have to make their setup theirselves, meaning team captains, strategies (to protect the AT, to get to dock at mitchell, ...)
The HHC Teamspeak should be used during the Event to give the Teams good means for teamwork.

I hope the Event will be fun for everyone.

Greets,
Mormegil - Eventmanager

P.S. Dont kill me for typos, the post took more than an hour now. Good night. If you have questions, ask. And dont forget to apply for a team.

Second Phase:
In this phase there are only benefits for the LSF: If at least 3 of them dock at Mitchell, the AT in the next phase may only respawn once. If at least 5 of them dock, it may not respawn at all.
If the Order prohibit any docks at Mitchell, the AT may respawn 2 times, meaning it has 3 lifes.
All fighters may respawn infinitely (both sides).

are docked LSF fighters allowed to undock again to support their forces or even dock a 2nd time?

Great job, Mormegil! And special thanks for write it in english!
I understood right that in event will take part only players who made request?
I `d like to there all participants know all details of event.
I remember 1 years ago- event "Prisoner"- it was not very impressive and finished fast because many players didnt even know goals and rules of this event (like some russian players told later).
And one more- Would b interesting if woman in that event will play females=)
For example- Juni- I think this role should play the best female pilot of server, and its Sickness. If she wants, of course. If she doesnt want - then Nicky...
And I can play President Jacoby ( she is female, too)- I think this role won`t be too hard =)
(I am not sure though if I can play 14 of aprile, but I `ll do my best).

Yes, to participate you need to make a short post here and say which team you want to be in.
And when you made your char, post the charname here.
That way I can be sure everyone read the rules and everyone has the chars. And i can assign quite fair teams.
Yes the women might be played by women, as long we have enough players^^
The date of the event can also be changed, i got several requests about bad date now..

And the rest is up to the players. If i do not get much response i cannot make the event.. we need some players for the teams, so make advertisement

~DATE MAY BE SUBJECT TO CHANGE. Many Players already told me Sunday 14th was a bad date for them.
When signing up please tell me a day you are quite sure you can play ~

I like the idea of the event. I would like to join, too.
But the problem is I don't have enough time to create a special char before the event.
In my case, best time for event is on weekends. So 13th april should be fine.
